Verve Coffee Roasters

Small and a bit crowded place, a gluten-free option (chocolate or matcha brownie)

Located conveniently at Shinjuku station, this coffee shop is a popular spot with many recommendations. One of the highlights for me was their lavender oat latte. The combination of fragrant lavender and creamy oat milk resulted in a delightful and unique flavor. I also appreciated the option of a gluten-free muffin, which was deliciously moist and satisfying. I must admit that I was not particularly fond of the seating arrangement, especially during busy hours. The chairs felt purposely uncomfortable, perhaps to discourage customers from lingering for too long. Although I understand the need to accommodate a high turnover rate, it did affect my overall comfort and enjoyment of the place.
